Sustainable biomass supply chain

Principle: We are committed to ensuring the biomass we use delivers positive outcomes for the climate, nature, and people.

Sustainably sourced forest biomass is at the heart of our purpose: Enabling a zero carbon, lower cost energy future. We will continue to develop and apply policies and processes to ensure we source all our biomass to verified standards for sustainability.

We work with Indigenous Peoples, NGOs and non-profits to understand the social and economic impacts and benefits where we source our biomass.

We will keep our sourcing guidelines under review by following the latest science and continually developing best practices.

What you need to do (where applicable to your role):

• Comply with the Sustainable Biomass Sourcing policies
• Comply with all other aspects of Drax sourcing and procurement requirements such as ethics, modern slavery, etc
• Ensure audits and periodic checks are done for all biomass sourcing to ensure compliance with Drax standards and certification and regulations
• Work with Indigenous Peoples and communities in areas we source biomass from for positive impacts
• Ensure full transparency of our biomass sourcing
